With the continuous development of the breeding industry, more and more people use fully automated chicken farming equipment for large-scale farming. Although farming equipment can save a lot of our energy, we still have to check the condition of the house to ensure the operation of the house.
1. Check temperature, humidity, ventilation and lighting every day.
In the various articles on chicken raising, we should all see the importance of emphasizing these three. When we check the temperature, we can’t just look at the thermometer, but also pay attention to whether the actual temperature is consistent with the thermometer; the same is true for checking the humidity, especially for the chicks, the humidity has a greater impact; the ventilation can be felt by the chicken farmers themselves. And observe the condition of the flock to judge, if the taste of the chicken house makes you feel uncomfortable, then the chicken is certainly not comfortable, the general performance symptom is that the chicken will not pull a few. As for lighting, laying hens and broilers have different lighting schemes. Chicken farmers need to check the intensity and uniformity of the light every day to avoid deviations.
2. Check the mental state of the chicken every day.
The mental state of the chicken is directly determined by whether the chicken is healthy. Therefore, by checking the mental state of the flock, it is possible to judge the health of the flock. Whether the mental state of the chicken is normal or not can be judged by three aspects. One is the state in which the chicken is directly reflected, such as whether it is depressed, whether it is dozing off, whether it is getting together or whether it is too excited. In addition, the sound of the chicken (such as whether there is a breathing voice, whether coughing, whether to make strange calls, etc.), as well as the situation of chicken drinking water and eating materials, can determine whether the chicken’s mental state is normal.
3. Check the number of dead chickens every day.
In fact, it is not an abnormal thing to have dead chickens in chicken farms. Because of frailty or other various factors, there are very few dead chickens, and chicken farmers do not need to panic. Chicken farmers check dead chickens every day. It is important to understand the cause of death and mortality. Knowing the reasons can take the right response, and mortality is an important indicator for diagnosing chicken disease.
